Hi, I'm Lauren
0:02
Garoni. And
0:25
I'm Chelsea Feralas. And this might be
0:27
the last Every Outfit Podcast episode because
0:30
I might infect Chelsea with my illness.
0:33
Okay, I came over and Lauren is like
0:35
violently ill and trying to hide it from
0:37
me. I'm like, bitch, come on, we could
0:40
have done this over Zoom. And by violently
0:42
ill, it's my voice is a little nasally
0:44
and I coughed once. I sneezed once as
0:46
well. Okay, well, we'll see how this shakes
0:49
out. I love
0:51
you. I'm willing to take the risk,
0:53
especially for our beloved listeners. Although
0:55
I think I might have brought
0:57
some bad energy into the space
0:59
myself because I am like so
1:01
fucking sick of these cyclists on
1:04
Mulholland. It should be illegal. It
1:06
really should. No, Lauren, this man,
1:08
no helmet, air pods in
1:10
and driving over the line so no
1:12
one could overtake him. We're going to
1:14
sound like assholes. But for those that
1:16
don't live in Los Angeles, it is
1:18
not a friendly city for cyclists. And
1:21
also, I have never
1:23
seen worse behaved bicyclists because
1:25
they don't share the road.
1:28
And also, here's the thing. They want to be treated
1:30
like cars, right? They want to they want
1:32
to ride in the middle of the lane
1:34
just like they're a car. But then they
1:36
will blow through a fucking stoplight as if
1:38
it's not pertinent to them. Exactly. And
1:40
it's like, okay, I get it. If
1:43
you're wearing air pods on Mulholland, like
1:45
you have a death wish and that's
1:47
fine. But like, don't bring me into
1:49
it. Don't put me in some like
1:51
21 gram situation here. Well, I was
1:53
going to start the podcast with a
1:55
pretty major celebrity sighting or supermodel sighting
1:57
that I had at the time. the
2:00
drug store the other day. Who did
2:02
you see? So I was getting my
2:04
flu and COVID shot. Great time to
2:06
have gotten that. Yeah,
2:09
clearly it worked. And I'm going
2:11
to the register to pay for a couple of
2:13
things that I've gotten. And I'm coming down an
2:16
aisle and I meet at
2:18
the same time this woman who's waiting
2:20
in the line and I get
2:22
there first. I look to my left and it's supermodel
2:25
Amber Velletta with
2:28
her Reynolds rap. But I'm like, I guess I
2:30
kind of cut her off. I'm like, you know
2:32
what? You go ahead of me. And
2:34
she just turns to me and she
2:36
goes, there really should be self checkout.
2:38
And I'm like, yes, Amber Velletta, there
2:40
should be self checkout. Okay. So are
2:42
we now just buying Reynolds rap from
2:44
now on full brand loyalty? I'm influenced.
2:47
Absolutely. I've been influenced by Amber Velletta.
2:49
No, I more was just like, what
2:52
are you doing at the Valley? Amber
2:54
Velletta? So chic. I love her. She
2:56
really is so chic. I
2:58
was like, do I say I love
3:00
her work? Is that vapid? No,
3:02
it's not vapid. Come on. She's one
3:04
of the greats. I didn't. I fumbled
3:06
the bag. Maybe I'll see her again.
3:09
We need a second part to the
3:11
Apple TV Supermodels docuseries. That's just like
3:13
all the girls that are the tier
3:15
below them. Yeah. And it's just like
3:17
the sub header is supermodels never die.
3:19
I'd watch. So shall we start the
3:21
show with a bit of end just like
3:23
that news? Christmas come early and just like
3:25
that isn't coming back till 2025. I'm
3:28
excited for it to come back, but
3:30
I do think a little bit of
3:32
a break would be good because they
3:34
put out the first two seasons so
3:36
fast. And by the time the show
3:38
actually comes back, maybe Wyatt will have
3:40
gone to college so Aiden and Carrie
3:42
can just like resume their romance. Yeah,
3:44
we didn't talk about this, but a
3:46
few weeks ago, I sent you that
3:49
all of the writers had met at
3:51
the Cara hotel. I noticed in
3:53
Los Feliz for a writers room three
3:55
dinner and it's all the same writers.
3:57
So we can't really expect a severe.
4:00
vibe shift for season three. No, but
4:02
we can count on Samantha Irby probably
4:04
writing the best episodes of the season.
4:07
On that we can rely. Let her
4:09
deal with the Aiden stuff. If he's
4:11
coming back, is it gonna
4:13
jump five years? I guess what I could
4:16
say is I'm genuinely curious how they're gonna
4:18
handle the story. Yeah, I feel like they'll
4:20
make her get in a good relationship with
4:22
someone else and then Aiden will come back.
4:25
Well, my line was just make it Jon
4:27
Hamm, but I see that he is Jennifer
4:29
Aniston's boyfriend on the morning show. Oh,
4:31
really? He can't be both boyfriends. Yeah,
4:33
I want to get back into the
4:35
morning show and people keep DMing us
4:37
imploring us to get into the morning
4:40
show. But I just can't do that
4:42
COVID season. If there's a way to
4:44
transition from season one to season three
4:46
without watching season two, I won. There
4:48
is. It's called just jumping to season
4:50
three and watching the season two recap
4:52
that I'm sure they have before episode
4:54
one. Okay, you're right. I'm stupid.
4:56
In other news, Cynthia Nixon was on
4:58
The View this week promoting the new
5:01
season of the Gilded Age. Okay, before
5:03
we jump into this interview, I've never
5:05
watched an episode of the Gilded Age.
5:07
And the only time I've seen anything
5:09
about it is the trailers. And
5:11
this one clip that they played before
5:13
she came on, it seems like a very
5:16
odd show, but everyone loves it. We should
5:18
be watching it. And by everyone, you mean
5:20
the tens of people watching the show. Lots
5:22
of people watch The Gilded Age. We just
5:25
don't watch it. Who are these people?
5:27
I want their names. I don't know. Just
5:29
people. People from different
5:31
places. Different places.
5:34
She's also promoting a play that
5:36
she was in. I was very intrigued
5:38
by the tension filled conversation, not about
5:40
the topic you would think it would
5:43
be, but about live versus fake trees,
5:45
which I felt like mirrored our own
5:47
tension filled conversations of like live and
5:50
fake trees. Right. Because Cynthia was very
5:52
pro real tree and Sunny was like
5:54
very, very pro fake tree, like to
5:56
a weird degree. And I am a
5:59
fake tree. Chelsea is a live
6:01
tree person, but I would never go the depths that
6:03
Sunny went into about like just get the real tree
6:05
spray and I think it was Whoopi that was like,
6:07
it was Whoopi or Joy? I think it was Joy
6:09
which was like weird for her to have a steak
6:11
and this was like then it all gets in your
6:14
lungs. Like Joy,
6:16
did you have someone who got
6:18
cancer from spraying real tree smell
6:20
on their fake tree? Cynthia also
6:22
revealed that she completed four days
6:24
of her five-day hunger strike because
6:27
I guess she had to work on one of the days and
6:29
I'm like what did you have to eat some
6:31
like pheasant on the Gilded Age or something? Crapty
6:34
was just too tempting. Of
6:37
course she talked about wanting a ceasefire and
6:40
Joy like if there was a button that
6:42
Joy could press to eject this woman out
6:45
of her seat and off of the show
6:47
she would have done it. I'm surprised that
6:49
in 25 years of the
6:51
view they haven't added that as a
6:53
feature on to the show. Could you
6:55
imagine if that existed during the Elizabeth
6:57
Hasselbeck Rosie O'Donnell days? Oh, it would
6:59
have been incredible. Yeah, I feel like
7:01
Sunny was vibing with Cynthia a bit
7:03
because her whole struggle on the view
7:06
lately is that like no one lets
7:08
her finish a sentence, but watching this
7:10
just reminded me that I really just
7:12
want someone on that show
7:14
who has a different perspective than
7:16
the rest of them. And you
7:18
don't mean Democrat Republican. You're talking
7:20
about like a Marianne Williamson energy.
7:22
Either get someone that's like Marjorie
7:24
Taylor Greene or Marianne Williamson, but
7:26
we need someone with a different
7:29
viewpoint in the mix because it's not
7:31
really that fun to listen to them
7:33
talk when they all have the same
7:35
opinion about like the broader issue, right?
7:37
Say gun control, reproductive freedom.
7:40
They really just argue about the minor
7:42
details of everything. And that's becoming tiresome
7:44
to you. I think what I'm saying
7:46
is that Cynthia Nixon either needs to
7:48
permanently join this panel or we need
7:50
to get Rosie O'Donnell back or just
7:52
rotate them out. I mean, it is
7:54
working for the Daily Show. It seems
7:56
like not replacing Trevor Noah and just
7:59
having a never- ending parade of ghettos.
8:01
I'm fine with it. I just think that
8:03
we need some new perspectives on that show,
8:05
regardless of what they are or if I
8:07
agree with them. They should make you the
8:09
producer. What was his name? He's dead now,
8:11
right? Bill Getty. Bill Getty. May
8:14
he rest in peace. Do we want to discuss the
8:16
fact that George Santos is on Cameo and I tried
8:18
to get us one and I couldn't? Well, how hard
8:20
did you try? At the
8:22
beginning of the week, I saw on Twitter, I will
8:24
never call a DEX, that George Santos
8:26
was on Cameo and they were going for $75.
8:30
I was like, well, clearly that's not real. Then the
8:32
next day, I started to see more Cameos and I
8:34
was like, oh, it is for
8:36
real. I went on the website, I think it was
8:38
like Tuesday morning, they were selling for $250. I
8:43
was like, this is a worthwhile business expense. It was like
8:45
275 slots left. I
8:49
was like, you know what? Let me think about what
8:51
I want him to say to Chell and I. When
8:53
I came back in the afternoon, they were sold out.
8:55
They were briefly available this morning, but now for
8:57
$400. And I'm sorry,
9:00
it's just too much for a joke. I
9:02
agree. I think $250
9:04
is my flinch point for a George
9:06
Santos Cameo. But what I also learned
9:08
is that I've always vowed to you
9:10
when I got like a fuck you
9:12
money check that I was going to
9:14
get you a Caitlyn Jenner Cameo because
9:17
they're $2,000 and I've sadly
9:19
learned Caitlyn Jenner is no longer on
9:21
the platform. Yeah, maybe her Cameo requests
9:23
slow down, you know? Can
9:25
I play you some of the George Santos Cameos?
9:27
Have you seen them? No, I
9:30
have not. Favorite T.S. song is definitely
9:32
going to be trouble. I
9:35
knew you were trouble when you walked
9:37
in. That's me.
9:39
Bye. Okay, money well spent.
9:41
I hope that was the $75 tier. He's
9:44
singing for his dinner, you know? So
9:47
I think that's a great way to
9:49
transition. Taylor Swift I saw was Time's
9:51
Person of the Year. That was a
9:53
shock because while she has been inescapable
9:55
this year, they never give this to
9:58
entertainers. It's always like world leaders. or
10:00
whoever happens to be the Pope at
10:02
that time. Yeah, last year was Vladimir
10:05
Zelensky. This year it's Taylor Swift. I
10:07
mean, the time person of the year
10:09
is kind of the prominent known person
10:12
version of like the Forbes 30 Under
10:14
30. Like this is orchestrated by a
10:16
publicist. I don't know if that's the
10:19
case because it's usually
10:21
world leaders. And if it's not,
10:23
it's like a group of people
10:25
like American soldiers or whistleblowers, or
10:27
they did that cover a few
10:29
years ago that was like the
10:31
silence breakers when what they really meant
10:34
was the Me Too movement. But remember
10:36
that Taylor Swift was on that cover
10:38
as well. Right. So this is technically
10:40
the second time that she's
10:42
been on the cover of this issue.
10:45
I mean, it feels like this is
10:47
a punctuation at the end of a
10:49
really great year because I feel like
10:52
she hasn't done a ton of interviews
10:54
this past year, as noted by our
10:56
favorite Taffy and her profile
10:58
or her non profile of Taylor Swift. I was
11:01
just excited to see the shoot because we
11:03
never see her like with a good hair
11:05
and makeup and styling team. Oh, that's interesting
11:07
that you say that. That's how low the
11:09
bar is, I think with Taylor Swift because
11:11
I thought you were gonna comment on how
11:13
boring this photo shoot is. It's not
11:15
supposed to be a Vogue cover. It's
11:17
the time person of the year. I
11:20
don't think this is the time to
11:22
come out in the Gucci gown or
11:24
the Mugler cat suit. Unsurprisingly, my favorite
11:26
look was her and
11:28
the top was a tuxedo and then she
11:30
was in jeans. Or as someone on Instagram
11:32
said, young tar, which
11:34
is exactly what that looked like. I have
11:37
noted some things I found interesting about the
11:39
article, but I wanna hear, what did you
11:41
take away from the article? I honestly
11:43
have no takeaways from the
11:45
article aside from her admission
11:47
that her song Mastermind was
11:50
inspired by Phantom Thread. That
11:52
blew my mind. Now when
11:54
I listen to that song, I
11:56
will just imagine Daniel Day-Lewis vomiting and
11:58
shitting. My favorite. is the person
12:01
who wrote the article in explaining this
12:03
is like, she tells me that she
12:05
wrote that song after watching the Paul
12:08
Thomas Anderson film Phantom Thread, which spoiler
12:10
culminates in the reveal of a fast
12:12
layered manipulation. It's like, that's not a
12:14
spoiler. Like, what? I've
12:17
seen Phantom Thread. I'm like, what does
12:19
that even mean? She's poisoning her husband.
12:22
Spoiler. And that's what Taylor
12:25
Swift sat in the theater or let's be
12:27
on the center home theater and watch Daniel
12:29
Day-Lewis vomit poisonous mushrooms and was like,
12:31
you know what, I think there's a pop
12:33
song in this. Yeah,
12:36
I'm just sad that there weren't more poisoning
12:38
metaphors in the song itself. For the first
12:40
time in many years, Taylor Swift is talking
12:42
about the Kim Kardashian Kanye West
12:44
leaking of the phone call where Taylor Swift
12:47
was like, yeah, you can use me and
12:49
you can say that lyric and famous, which
12:51
was, I still think
12:53
Taylor and me might have sex, but
12:55
he never said the second line, which
12:58
is I made that bitch famous, which
13:00
clearly Taylor Swift wouldn't have been cool
13:02
with and been like, no, you don't
13:04
have my permission. Yeah, I'm not surprised
13:06
that she brought that up again, because
13:09
it clearly is such a traumatic and
13:11
central experience for her. But I did
13:13
find it interesting that she basically said
13:15
that she had lost her career as
13:18
a result of that. And then the
13:20
interviewer was like, girl, what? Not
13:22
to her face, but yeah, I was
13:24
going to bring this up because I
13:26
think a barrier to entry I have
13:29
with Taylor Swift is this self
13:31
mythologizing that everyone hates her. And
13:33
I understand as the interviewer does,
13:36
I understand that that's how she
13:38
feels. But that's not really
13:40
what happened. Like no one that
13:42
was a Taylor Swift fan was
13:45
moved by that Kim Kardashian video. She
13:47
has such a large fan base. It
13:49
doesn't matter what she does, or if
13:51
the public at large cares or not.
13:53
But she's like, but it's not
13:56
like, Oh, this is how I feel. Her
13:58
literal quote is make no mistake. my career
14:00
was taken from me. By who?
14:02
You didn't get dropped by your
14:04
label and your management and like
14:07
what? Your sponsors? Yeah, she's like,
14:09
I had to go into hiding for a
14:11
year. It's like, okay, one, you went on
14:13
a whirlwind European vacation with Tom Hiddleston the
14:16
summer of 2016 and
14:18
you released Reputation the next year.
14:20
Look, don't get me wrong, I
14:22
feel empathy for anyone who is
14:25
kind of cyber bullied in
14:27
that way on a mass scale.
14:29
I think that is a lot
14:31
more traumatic than people want to
14:33
admit. Oh, God, yeah. Or that
14:35
regular people, I suppose, want to
14:37
admit. So it's like, I understand
14:39
that that carries an extreme level
14:41
of trauma, even for a famous
14:43
person with all this privilege. Yes,
14:46
and then I did appreciate that the journalist as
14:48
the article ends is like, here Swift has told
14:50
me a story about redemption, about rising and falling
14:53
only to rise again, a hero's journey. I do
14:55
not say to her in our conversation that it
14:57
did not always look that way from the outside.
14:59
But for example, when Reputations leads single, Look What
15:01
You Made Me Do, reached number one on the
15:04
charts or when the album sold 1.3 million
15:06
albums in the first week second to only
15:08
her other album 1989. She's
15:11
never not had a sold out
15:13
concert since she began. She's also
15:16
had pretty much always critical acclaim.
15:19
Like the most she can muster about Reputation
15:21
is like, some people were skeptical. It's like,
15:23
it's still a four star album. Of course.
15:26
I'm glad to hear you're on my side of things.
15:28
No, of course I am. Did

18:03
other news, I love that you put the Madeleine
18:05
Brockway wedding in our shared Google doc and you
18:08
were like, I'm not sure if you've heard of
18:10
this. Exactly. What kind of
18:12
rock do you think I live under? I
18:15
mean, I know that you probably at the
18:17
very least knew about it through Tats and
18:19
she and I share a TikTok addiction. Even
18:22
though I'm not on TikTok all day
18:24
long, I'm looking at no less than
18:26
10 TikToks a day just because people
18:28
send them to me constantly. Usually you.
18:31
So I can't escape any of this shit.
18:33
Alright, for those of you who may live
18:35
under a rock, the internet has anointed a
18:37
new it girl or at least that's what
18:39
some chick named Malin Brockway would like you
18:42
to think with her recent lavish nuptials that
18:44
went viral on Instagram. Maybe
18:46
you don't know this Chelsea, but Madeleine
18:48
is a Texas car dealership heiress. I
18:50
did not know there was such a
18:53
thing that her parents sold and based
18:55
on an article, they sold two dealerships
18:57
for anywhere between a hundred to seven
18:59
hundred million dollars. Okay, but that still
19:01
doesn't seem like a proportionate amount of
19:04
money to this wedding. This seems like
19:06
a billionaires only situation. Oh, absolutely. So
19:08
Madeleine had a multi day Parisian wedding
19:10
that saw guests spend the night at
19:12
Versailles, had a welcome dinner at the
19:15
Paris Opera House where guests were serenaded
19:17
by ball gown wearing violinist and had
19:19
such an insane amount of flowers, it
19:21
would make Jeff Latham weep. And
19:23
a wedding reception that featured views of the
19:26
Eiffel Tower and a performance by Maroon Can
19:29
you imagine how much did she spend on
19:31
her wedding? When I first saw this wedding
19:33
on Twitter, someone flippantly posted like, so this
19:35
is what a 59 million dollar wedding looks
19:37
like and that's the number everyone's run with.
19:40
It was probably tens of millions of dollars,
19:42
but it wasn't 60 million
19:44
dollars. Lauren did her due
19:46
diligence and personally contacted all of
19:48
the vendors. No, no, no, there
19:50
are legit TikTok accounts that are
19:52
dedicated to figuring out how expensive certain
19:54
weddings are and they do do the due diligence
19:57
that I refuse to do and figure out how
19:59
much the vendors. So like
20:01
two of these accounts that is probably
20:03
20 to $30 million, because they flew
20:05
everyone out, put everyone up, rented Versailles
20:07
for a few days. Also
20:09
can we talk about the Bachelorette party, which
20:11
was its own thing. I was looking for
20:14
wedding planners and was sort of horrified
20:17
by everything I was seeing. And
20:19
I came upon a wedding
20:21
planner who showed a
20:24
bachelorette party she had organized. And
20:27
it was a Marie Antoinette themed bachelorette
20:29
party and Ami Giri. And I pulled
20:31
Paul and I was like, look at
20:33
this fucking thing. Guys, it was Matt
20:35
Lindbrock with his bachelorette party. It's so
20:37
funny because that hotel, which is, where
20:40
is it? Utah.
20:43
It's like this minimalist luxury hotel
20:45
in Utah that is thousands of
20:47
nights, three night minimum celebrity favorite.
20:49
Oh, if people are listening to
20:52
this podcast, they've definitely seen it
20:54
through Kardashian Jenner Instagram posts. For
20:56
sure. But this was interesting
20:58
because all of this wasn't very much at
21:00
odds with the aesthetic of that place, right?
21:03
Like the amount of flowers and shit that
21:05
they're bringing in. But the thing I was
21:07
really struck by is that there
21:10
were only like no more than 12 table settings
21:13
at all of these dinners. They rented
21:15
out that entire hotel and did all
21:17
this shit for no more than a
21:19
dozen people. It's become clear that Malin
21:21
Brockway was using her insane wedding to
21:23
launch a social media career. I
21:25
think she looked at like a Nicola
21:28
Pelt or Sophia Richie who have careers,
21:30
I guess, because their weddings were glamorous.
21:32
Certainly Sophia Richie got on a lot
21:34
of people's radars because her wedding was
21:36
just so fabulous. But it was kind
21:38
of working. Like her following was growing.
21:40
People were writing articles about it. We're
21:43
talking about it now. It completely worked.
21:45
Good for her. Yes. But
21:48
then suddenly last week, she deleted her
21:50
TikTok account, deleted all of her other
21:52
social accounts and no one could figure
21:54
out why until people started digging into
21:56
the groom. Turns out her now husband.
21:58
and Jacob Legrand was indicted in March
22:01
on three counts of aggravated assault on
22:03
a public servant for shooting at cops
22:05
and could face life in prison. Oops.
22:07
Why was he shooting at the cops?
22:09
Do we know? Some kind of domestic
22:12
disturbance. Or was he just like shooting
22:14
off guns at his house and like
22:16
the cops came over or something? Cause
22:18
it seems like that's something that the
22:20
ultra wealthy do. When I heard about
22:23
this, I couldn't help but think of
22:25
the last season of you. Right? Like
22:27
whatever this is, it's probably a lot like
22:29
that. Very salt burn coded is what
22:32
they say. Salt burn ass. You know what?
22:34
You can't wait to talk about salt burn.
22:36
Do you want to talk about salt burn?
22:38
Sure. When we left things last week, you
22:40
were like, I'm not going to watch it.
22:42
And I was like, it's okay. I'll go
22:45
see it and I'll tell you about it
22:47
because I'm intrigued by the internet hatred of
22:49
this movie. And then I was
22:51
delighted to find out you went and saw
22:53
salt burn. So Chell, what did you think?
22:55
I was thoroughly entertained by salt burn. I'm
22:57
not hating on salt burn at all. I
22:59
know when I saw just how many people
23:01
dislike this film, I was like, fuck, I'm
23:04
probably going to be okay with it. Which
23:06
is kind of a bummer because I was
23:08
quite looking forward to disliking a film along
23:10
with everyone else. But I don't know what
23:13
other people thought going into the film. Cause
23:16
for the previous week, I've been seeing
23:18
people take videos of themselves leaving the
23:20
film utterly destroyed. It's like by what
23:22
though? Because they're grossed out by it?
23:25
A fucka named Ben Carpenter on our
23:27
Patreon, I think put it best, which
23:29
is salt burn is basic straight
23:31
person shocking, not queer and or generally
23:33
cultured shocking. And that might be the
23:35
best description of this film. That's true.
23:37
When I was watching the movie and
23:39
the audience was reacting, Tat leaned over
23:41
to me and was like, these people
23:43
are a bunch of fucking prudes. And
23:45
that's what it is, right? Like
23:48
the bathtub scene that everyone is so obsessed
23:50
with being disgusted by, I'm like, I'm
23:52
sorry. I would do the exact same thing
23:55
if I was in that man's position. I'm
23:57
not letting that perfectly good bathwater go to
23:59
waste. Uh
24:02
oh guys, we're about to get into
24:04
spoiler territory for Saltburn and then May-December.
24:07
If you would like to not be spoiled, just
24:09
scroll down to our episode description, we will give
24:11
you the time stamps so you may stay spoiler
24:13
free. But I can say that the movies are
24:15
great and you guys should go see them both.
24:20
When I thought you weren't going to see
24:22
the film, my non-spoiler logline, and to answer
24:24
your question from last week about how hot
24:26
Jacob Elordi is, he's so hot that you
24:28
would kill an entire family for him. And
24:30
you can't even judge him for that. I
24:33
was not the biggest fan of Promising Young
24:35
Woman mostly for the ending and I do
24:37
think that there's a little bit of a
24:39
logic gap with why Perry Keogan is doing
24:42
all of this, but like I don't care.
24:44
You know that he's going to kill someone.
24:46
Like it can't be him dying, you know,
24:48
because that would be too much like Promising
24:51
Young Woman. So it's kind of
24:53
evident to me that someone's going down, you
24:55
just don't really know who. Well that's my
24:57
thing about people being shocked from this film
25:00
which is like, what did people think
25:02
this movie was? Because I went in knowing
25:05
that it was going to be some sort
25:07
of take on the talented Mr. Ripley set
25:09
for reasons unknown in 2006. Did
25:12
you know this was a period piece? Oh
25:14
god, does that count as a period piece now?
25:16
That's so depressing. Yeah baby, 18 years ago. I
25:19
don't know. I think also the critical
25:21
response to it, it's like people are acting like
25:23
they thought it was supposed to be like Citizen
25:25
Kane or 2001 Space
25:27
Odyssey or some shit and it's just
25:30
like this movie. Yeah, I think that
25:32
this film is actually campier than May-December,
25:34
which we'll talk about after this. I don't know
25:37
if I agree with that, but it definitely was
25:39
campy for sure. I get
25:41
it. I think that sometimes when
25:43
things are clearly
25:46
meant to shock you, people can be
25:48
resentful of that. I definitely think that
25:50
Saltburn falls into that category, but the
25:52
thing about it is, is that it
25:55
actually succeeded in shocking people. Not
25:57
of. No, it even shocked me. Maybe
25:59
not ever. Everything shocked me in the way that
26:02
it might shock others, but the grave
26:04
scene, that shocked me. That was like,
26:06
passolini level of fucked up, and I
26:08
did not see that coming. Let's go
26:10
through what I will deem the three
26:12
most shocking things in the film. I
26:14
would say the first one is what
26:16
I will call the vampire pussy eating
26:18
scene. Okay. It's a
26:20
period film in two ways, Chelsea. Oh
26:22
my god. I guess for people who
26:24
are still listening to this, even though
26:26
we're getting into spoilers, but aren't sure
26:28
what the movie is about, Barry Keogan
26:31
is going to Oxford. I can't
26:33
remember any of the character's names. I'm just going to
26:35
call the actors names. Barry Keogan is a
26:37
poor student who's going to Oxford.
26:40
He becomes enamored with Jacob Elordi.
26:42
He gets brought into his social
26:45
circle, and after his
26:47
father passes away, Jacob Elordi
26:49
invites him to stay for the
26:51
summer at his family's estate,
26:53
Saltburn. Where hijinks ensue. Yes,
26:55
where after one dinner, he meets
26:58
Jacob Elordi's sister in the
27:00
garden and eats
27:02
her out despite her having
27:04
her period. Sex is disgusting,
27:06
but that rarely translates to
27:09
cinema. In movies, sex is
27:11
very sanitized and stylized in
27:14
a way that it just isn't in reality. So
27:16
to show something like this is just unique.
27:18
Yeah, I mean, as Rosamund Pike says, I
27:20
was a lesbian for a little bit. It
27:22
was too wet for me. The
27:25
second most shocking scene that everyone's talking about
27:27
is the fact that Barry
27:30
Keogan's character overhears Jacob Elordi jerking
27:32
off in a bathtub in their
27:34
shared bathroom, goes into the bathtub
27:36
and sucks up the, what you
27:38
imagine is the cummy bathwater. Ew,
27:43
cummy bath... Don't say it like that. Look,
27:45
you'd have to. You'd have to. And if you
27:48
wouldn't, then I guess you're not as big of
27:50
a Jacob Elordi fan as I am. When
27:52
you say you would have to, you're literally
27:55
like, I would have to, Lauren. There was
27:57
a great letterbox review that was like, for
27:59
sure. For people who are mad
28:01
that they didn't eat the peach and call me
28:03
by your name, have I got a movie for
28:05
you? I guess my
28:08
expectation was that he truly, I don't
28:10
know that we were gonna like see
28:12
a Jack-U-Lit. I didn't expect it to
28:14
just truly be bathwater, but I guess.
28:16
Is that so much grosser than just
28:18
like sucking someone's dick? Like think about
28:20
it. It's not, right? I mean, maybe
28:22
putting your tongue in a drain. Okay,
28:24
that's true. I would not go as
28:26
far as to like rim the drain.
28:28
He was in a dark place, clearly.
28:30
Jacob Elordi passes away and maybe
28:33
the most shocking scene of the
28:35
film occurs, which is Barry
28:37
Keogan is at his grave.
28:39
It's raining. He takes his shirt off. He's
28:41
crying. And where my mind went to was
28:44
like, oh, he's gonna jerk
28:46
off on the dirt. Yeah, nope. He
28:49
fucks the dirt. And I
28:51
know that it's supposed to be shocking,
28:53
but my mind just went to American
28:55
Pie. From the perspective of like the
28:57
actor, it's like that was played very
28:59
seriously. Like he's sobbing. Like it was
29:02
not comedic in that sense, but it
29:04
was comedic. I looked around to the
29:06
people around me and everyone was just
29:08
sitting there with like frozen smiles on
29:10
their face, like not knowing what to
29:12
do. I mean, that's pretty cool. What
29:14
I don't see people talking about in
29:16
regards to this film is what I
29:18
think is the biggest twist and
29:21
its biggest commentary point, which is the
29:23
biggest sin in modern life isn't being
29:25
poor, but being middle-class. Because
29:28
that is the twist of the film is that he isn't
29:30
poor. The Barry Keogan character
29:32
made all of this up because he
29:34
knows he would be more sympathetic. There's
29:37
nothing more boring than living a comfortable
29:39
life. It's all about
29:41
extremes. Although when you look at that
29:43
level of wealth, it's like comparatively like
29:46
he is in poverty compared to the
29:48
salt burn wealth. But of course he's
29:50
not actually. He has every privilege in
29:52
the world. Yes, and his father's not dead
29:55
and his mother isn't a crack whore. It's
29:57
not the lie, it's the coverup. And that
29:59
was... was the moment I was like,
30:01
he's gonna twist the wheel as Jacob
30:03
alordi is driving back because Jacob
30:06
alordi is trying to do this great thing
30:08
and reunite him with his mother who he
30:11
intercepts a call from, on Barry
30:13
Keogan's birthday drives him to
30:15
his hometown and Jacob alordi
30:17
realizes, Oh, you're not poor,
30:20
I fell for this lie. And I was like, okay,
30:22
this is where like Barry Keogan on the drive back
30:24
is going to take the wheel and crash, he's gonna
30:26
have to lie about how Jacob
30:28
alordi passed away. But that's why I say
30:30
I think that is the biggest twist of
30:32
the film because the rest of the film
30:34
is very passive. You don't see how Jacob
30:37
alordi dies. You don't see how the sister
30:39
dies. I mean, what happens with Roseman Pike
30:41
is very visceral and shocking. But yeah, that
30:43
was actually maybe the most disturbing part of
30:45
the movie actually, this is where it's a
30:48
bit of a logic gap, which I'm willing
30:50
to go with this film of like, okay,
30:52
he wants to consume Jacob alordi so much,
30:54
he's going to go through the entire family
30:56
till he is the heir
30:58
of salt burn. But the film
31:01
takes place between 2006 and 2007. It then jumps
31:04
20 years. Because
31:06
it's 2027. And you get this when he's looking
31:10
at the newspaper and sees the great Richard
31:12
E. Grant, who always loved when he's in
31:14
a movie, he is the father of Jacob
31:16
alordi's character. Guys, if you
31:18
hear airplanes in the background, it's because for
31:21
Chelsea's health, we've kept the door open. Because
31:25
I can't actually record this podcast with
31:27
a mask on. So
31:30
then he seeks out Rosenman Pike's
31:32
character in a cafe, presumably
31:34
marries her only for
31:37
her to have a terrible accident.
31:39
This film more resembles a Netflix
31:41
true crime docu series than the
31:43
talented Mr. Ripley. Yeah, and I'm
31:45
completely willing to look past the
31:47
aspects of this film that are
31:49
illogical or cliche. And there are
31:51
many things that fall into those
31:54
categories. But at the end of
31:56
the day, it's like, it
31:58
entertains me it was entertaining. That's
32:00
really all I care about at this
32:02
point is being entertained. I'd rather watch
32:05
a mediocre movie that is
32:07
entertaining than a good movie that I will
32:09
forget about in two years. Two years? Try
32:11
two days. Exactly. I guess there is a
32:13
fourth most shocking thing that a lot of
32:16
people are talking about, which is at the
32:18
end of the film, Barry Keogan
32:20
strips naked and dances to murder on
32:23
the dance floor. Great needle drop. I've
32:25
been wondering why I've been hearing that
32:27
song on the internet so much lately
32:30
because it never really caught
32:32
on in the United States. I thought you
32:34
were gonna say great flaccid cock. Seemed
32:38
like pretty decent. But I
32:40
still hear that song all the
32:42
time because expats from like Commonwealth
32:44
countries like always put it on
32:46
when they get drunk. They live
32:48
for that shit. So Aussies and
32:50
Canadians and British people. Also, when
32:52
I saw Carey Mulligan, it reminded
32:55
me of like when you go
32:57
to the theater and someone
32:59
over the loudspeaker is like, so
33:01
for today's performance, the role of
33:04
Helena Bonham Carter will be played
33:06
by Carey Mulligan. Yeah, wow.
33:08
I didn't even connect that. But yes,
33:10
yeah. Any who, so see salt burn
33:12
or don't I don't really give a
33:14
shit. But I enjoyed it. And for
33:16
those that were dying for our opinion,
33:18
I think you may be disappointed that
33:20
we liked it. I do think Jacob
33:22
Elordi was hotter in this than Priscilla.
33:24
Okay. All right. We got the definitive
33:26
answer. Like the portrayal of Elvis was
33:28
like his personality wasn't hot. Like he
33:30
was a real snore, you know, but
33:32
also the eyebrow piercing added a lot.
33:34
And I think someone that big and
33:36
masculine just being shirtless and wearing angel
33:38
wings like always hot. So hot. Moving on.
33:41
God, we're really packing it in in
33:43
this app. A film that earlier this year
33:45
we claimed was going to be our favorite
33:47
movie ever May December. And you know
33:49
what, it just might be my favorite movie.
33:52
I have watched it twice. I
33:54
haven't been able to stop thinking about it.
33:56
I really enjoyed it. I don't think it's
33:58
my favorite Todd Haynes. but it's definitely
34:00
up there. I think a lot of issues that
34:03
people are having with this film is I
34:05
don't think people understand that this is
34:08
a melodrama, which is a
34:10
genre in and of itself and something
34:12
that Todd Haynes loves. And
34:15
like he's a huge fan of Douglas Serk.
34:17
So I feel like the dramatic music cue
34:19
that everyone is reposting, right? Where it's like
34:21
the piano and then Julianne Moore opening up
34:24
the fridge and going, I don't think we
34:26
have enough hot dogs. Yeah,
34:28
it was campier than I thought it
34:31
would be. I did not expect the
34:33
music to be so extreme. I did
34:35
not expect the lisp to be so
34:37
extreme. But I think that you need
34:39
those kind of musical cues and that
34:41
kind of acting to make the movie
34:44
watchable. And what I mean by that is
34:46
the context and the subtext of that
34:48
film is so fucking depressing
34:51
that it's almost too
34:53
much to bear without those kind
34:55
of campy elements. Well, that's the
34:57
amazing thing about this movie because
35:00
the subject matter is so dark
35:02
and taboo, but there's
35:04
nothing about the film that feels
35:06
moralistic at all. And somehow it
35:08
still manages to be funny while
35:11
still being respectful of the victim
35:14
in this story, which is very
35:16
impressive to me. I was also
35:18
shocked at how ripped from the
35:20
headlines this film was to the
35:22
Mary Kay Leturno story because I
35:24
thought it was going to be loosely
35:26
based. And it's like, oh, at some
35:28
point, it's just point for point recreations
35:30
of interviews they've done. Basically, the premise
35:32
of this film is that Julianne Moore
35:34
is Mary Kay Leturno. She is a
35:37
tabloid figure who rose to prominence
35:39
because she committed statutory rape. She
35:41
had a affair with a 15
35:43
year old boy that she later
35:45
married. And Natalie Portman plays the
35:47
actress that is playing her in
35:49
a film that has come to
35:51
study her. And what surprised me
35:53
about that is I assumed that
35:55
the Natalie Portman character would be a
35:58
slightly higher caliber of actress. Like
36:00
I thought that Natalie Portman would
36:02
be like Natalie Portman, but
36:05
really Natalie Portman is more like, I don't
36:07
know, who do you think is on her
36:09
fame level? From the context clues of people
36:11
talking about the show that Natalie Portman's character
36:14
is on, it is a
36:16
Katherine Heigl, Ellen Pompeo, an
36:19
actress that's been stuck on a TV
36:21
medical procedural for a while. Which I
36:24
think is like a vet show? She's
36:26
also famous enough though to have some
36:28
sort of Neutrogena campaign. I loved that
36:30
fake commercial that was in this. Oh,
36:32
that was so good. There were photos
36:35
of Mary Kaye Lauterno that they
36:37
basically recreated with Julianne Moore. And
36:40
the part where she was like,
36:42
who's in charge? Who's the boss?
36:44
That shit. That was from whatever
36:47
that really famous interview with Mary
36:49
Kaye Lauterno. The one where Villy
36:51
is like fully disassociating and it's
36:53
extremely depressing. Yeah, people have, I've
36:55
seen do a comparison. So in
36:57
the Todd Haynes film, it's Julianne
36:59
Moore imploring Charles Melton,
37:01
who is the runaway breakout
37:04
performance of this film. I
37:06
mean, everyone's incredible. Yeah,
37:08
no, I agree. It's all about him. He's the
37:10
one that should win the Oscar. Julianne
37:12
Moore and Natalie Portman already have them. And
37:15
he really added so much
37:17
depth and humanity to this
37:19
movie that is otherwise quite
37:21
campy. Right. She's trying to
37:23
implore who was in charge as Charles
37:25
Melton is like, I think we should
37:28
talk about this. Like I don't think
37:30
this was right. And it is taken
37:32
from an interview, as you said, with
37:34
Mary Kaye Lauterno and Villy,
37:36
where a reporter is really
37:39
turning the screws to her and she just
37:41
keeps saying to Villy, who was the boss?
37:44
You were the boss. I wasn't the boss. And
37:46
she's fucking talking about a 13 year
37:48
old when she was 34, 36. Yeah,
37:51
she's literally gaslighting him on
37:53
national television. Another thing that I
37:56
found to be unexpected about this
37:58
was I kind of assumed that...
38:00
that the Julianne Moore character, because
38:02
she is so inherently
38:04
immoral, would be the crazier one
38:06
of the two. But
38:09
I was quite surprised with Natalie
38:11
Portman, who had what I could
38:13
only describe as Jenny Schechter energy.
38:15
Yes, she's an actress who thinks
38:17
that this role will be her
38:19
breakout role out of the kind
38:22
of TV prison that
38:25
she's been in the last few
38:27
years. And so she increasingly becomes
38:30
not just obsessed with Julianne Moore's
38:32
character, but like obsessed with being
38:34
her. But also
38:36
embodying the lack
38:39
of morals that Julianne Moore must have
38:41
had to be able to seduce a 13 year old,
38:43
or I think in this film it's 15, not 13. When
38:46
Natalie Portman's character goes to the
38:48
high school of the twins, so
38:50
Julianne Moore and Charles Melton's character
38:52
have twins who are graduating high
38:55
school. And so she goes to an acting
38:57
class, Natalie Portman, and she talks about
38:59
having sex scenes in front of a group
39:02
of teenagers, which is so wildly
39:04
inappropriate. I know, it
39:06
really was. And I would say
39:08
one of the craziest scenes is
39:10
when Natalie Portman is reviewing the
39:13
tapes of the 13 year old
39:15
boys, or 15 year old boys
39:17
who are gonna play her co-star
39:19
in this film. And they, I
39:21
mean, they look like kids, right?
39:23
I think a lot when things
39:25
are recreated for TV and film,
39:27
because they are usually 18 year
39:29
olds or 20 year olds
39:31
playing teenagers to really have people
39:33
that age just highlights the horror
39:36
of this crime. And then also
39:38
the campy horror of Natalie Portman
39:40
saying to the producer, I think
39:43
they need to be hotter. Well,
39:45
some people look at this as
39:47
a fantasy. Natalie Portman's character has
39:49
very much like eroticized this situation
39:51
to the point that she's
39:53
engaging in like grooming role play with like
39:55
a 30 something year old
39:57
man. Yeah, I mean, to your point.
40:00
someone who definitely thinks this is hot
40:02
and okay is Bill Maher who I
40:04
saw a recent uncovered politically
40:06
incorrect episode where he's talking about the Mary
40:09
Kay Lauterno case and he's like come on
40:11
it's fine and Henry Rollins is one of
40:13
the the panelists and he's like no man
40:16
I think that this isn't okay and I
40:18
think the kid is gonna be messed up
40:20
for the rest of his life and Bill
40:22
Maher goes so you're not gonna be on
40:25
my side and Henry Rollins goes no see
40:27
I knew I loved him. Henry
40:29
Rollins or Bill Maher? Yeah obviously Henry
40:31
Rollins. So this is full spoiler territory
40:33
but were you shocked in
40:36
the end who ends up fucking? I
40:38
thought this was leading towards at least a
40:40
sapphic kiss between Julia and more and Natalie
40:42
Portman. Yes I thought it might go that
40:45
way too especially after the
40:47
very erotic makeup applying scene. They
40:49
are social outcast he seems to
40:51
be an x-ray tech. She has
40:54
a baking business that is only
40:56
sustained from the same like small
40:58
group of people keeping her employed
41:00
and yet when she's showing her
41:03
makeup to Natalie Portman I'm like I think that's
41:05
a Westman Atelier contour stick. Yeah
41:07
and I think her foundation was
41:09
Charlotte Tilbury which I'm sorry this
41:11
woman would not have makeup that's
41:13
that highbrow or expensive. No it
41:16
definitely felt like Julianne Moore was
41:18
like here's my makeup for my
41:20
makeup bag. Yeah in reality all
41:22
of her makeup would be drugstore.
41:24
Maybelline maybe she's born with it.
41:26
Maybe she just fucked a teenager.
41:29
But yes the climax I guess
41:31
pun intended in the film is
41:33
that Charles Melton and Natalie Portman
41:36
have sex and to her it's just
41:38
a casual encounter. I think for her
41:40
it's her own psychotic method way of
41:42
getting into the character of like so
41:44
this is what it's like to fuck
41:46
him and Charles Melton has he has
41:48
these two devastating scenes right the one
41:51
where he smokes weed for the first
41:53
time with his own son which reinforces
41:55
this idea of like oh yeah he
41:57
never got a teenager at a child's
41:59
house. And then he's
42:01
only ever been with one woman. And
42:04
so when Nally Portman, after they have sex, is
42:06
just acting completely casual, like it was a handshake, like
42:09
he can't comprehend what's happening, and she
42:12
just has a devastating line to him, this
42:14
is what adults do. Or what
42:16
grownups do, which is even more
42:18
sinister. Yeah, imagine having like a
42:20
15 year age difference with
42:23
your dad. Oh, also, one thing I
42:25
wanted to point out, this is
42:27
the second film where Julianne Moore has
42:29
a breakdown related to baking. I don't know
42:32
if you remember that scene in the hours
42:34
where she's trying to make John C. Riley
42:36
a birthday cake. Oh, right. And she has
42:38
a full, and she literally just decides to
42:41
kill herself as a result. Also,
42:43
after I watched May, December, I of
42:45
course immediately had to watch Black Swan.
42:47
Ooh. And there are a couple of
42:50
parallels to Black Swan as well. There
42:52
is another cake breakdown. Remember when Barbara
42:54
Hershey like gives her the cake and
42:56
that whole thing? And then
42:58
there's also a similar scene where
43:01
Natalie Portman like tries on
43:03
Winona Ryder's lipstick, which felt
43:05
similarly erotic. Okay, before we
43:08
move on, can we get
43:10
to the tar-esque ending of
43:13
the film? Sure. Natalie Portman
43:15
has done all of this,
43:17
and it's a fucking TV
43:19
movie. It's not even a
43:21
good movie. However, even if
43:23
this is a shitty made-for-TV
43:25
movie, her performance is
43:27
incredible. You think she's definitely getting Emmy
43:30
consideration for this? I don't know if
43:32
she's getting Emmy consideration, but she deserves
43:34
to. This project is beneath her. Right,
43:37
but the hope that Julianne Moore and
43:39
Charles Melton's character have is that this
43:41
will tell their real story and not
43:44
be some schlocky TV movie as they
43:46
previously done. Okay, so moving on, aside
43:48
from these films, what else have you
43:51
been watching lately? I honestly haven't had
43:53
time for much. Because you're on your
43:55
deathbed. I'm on my deathbed, as we
43:58
know. I'm gonna be hospitalized by next. week.
44:00
As you've said, you love a minor
44:02
illness to go back to bed and
44:04
actually watch TV, but I have had
44:06
time to watch a Netflix documentary called
44:08
Escaping Twin Flames. Okay, I saw the
44:10
trailer, but I haven't actually watched it.
44:13
Is it good? It's worth your time.
44:15
And here's why. Imagine if Scientology wasn't
44:17
consumed with the idea of Thetans being
44:19
attached to our bodies. And instead of
44:21
that, it was just your twin flame,
44:23
this soulmate who whether they want to
44:25
or not, they need to be with
44:27
you. Okay, like there is a woman
44:29
who legit went to jail for
44:32
stalking. Because she followed this
44:34
course. How do you know who
44:36
your twin flame is? So it's
44:38
funny that you ask that because
44:40
it is such an insular group
44:42
that initially when they formed this
44:44
cult, it's a Jeff and Juliet
44:46
divine, not their real last name,
44:48
if you can believe it. Early
44:50
on, there was a couple who
44:52
were each other's twin flame. They
44:54
were the poster child of this
44:56
cult. It operates like a cult
44:59
slash MLM because twin flames became
45:01
professors and then brought in other
45:03
people who they coached. After a
45:05
few years and people have spent
45:07
thousands of dollars and haven't met
45:09
their twin flame, they decide that
45:11
actually everyone's twin flame is within
45:13
this group. But also at
45:15
the same time, they become very obsessed
45:17
with gender roles. So it's all about
45:19
the divine feminine and the divine masculine.
45:21
Chelsea, what do you think happens in
45:24
a mostly female group where everyone is
45:26
each other's soulmate? Oh, so they all
45:28
ended up being lesbians, even though they're
45:30
straight, they told some people they were
45:32
trans and didn't know it. Okay, that's
45:34
iconic. And they were like, okay, I
45:36
mean, reluctantly, I mean, this is also
45:38
the crazy thing is like, it's still
45:40
going on. I feel like you and
45:42
I, I would like to think would
45:44
never get wrapped up in a cult.
45:47
Certainly not this cold because the
45:50
graphic design is so terrible. Ew, not
45:53
sexy. What have you been watching? So my
45:55
wife is a big fan of Taylor Jenkins
45:57
Reid and has been trying to get me
46:00
to read her books forever. So I finally
46:02
read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which
46:04
I loved, and then I read Daisy Jones
46:06
in the Six, and then
46:08
I had to watch the Hulu
46:11
series that came out, I don't
46:13
know, a couple years ago or
46:15
something like that? Unfortunately, I think
46:17
it was earlier this year. Really?
46:19
Is that how much culture we've
46:21
ingested? It was released March 3rd
46:23
of this year. Oh my god.
46:25
Yeah, basically it's about a Fleetwood
46:27
Mac-esque band, and Riley Keough plays
46:29
the Stevie Nicks in the equation.
46:31
Suki Waterhouse plays the Christine McVie,
46:33
and it's truly wild because the
46:35
format of this is that it
46:38
mostly takes place in the 70s, but there's kind
46:41
of like present day interviews with
46:43
the characters talking about what happened,
46:45
as if it's for a documentary
46:47
or something. And they did not
46:49
change the actors, nor did they
46:51
put them in old makeup. So
46:53
imagine Suki Waterhouse playing like a
46:55
60 or 70 year old
46:57
Christine McVie. They did this on
46:59
Outlander as well, which takes place
47:01
over decades. It's also a time
47:04
travel historical romance. Don't worry about
47:06
it, Chelsea. But they kind of did the same
47:08
thing where they're like, they're in their
47:10
50s, but it's like, they kind of
47:12
just look how the actors normally look.
47:14
Very weird. I thought the book was
47:17
good, but it's kind of weird because
47:19
usually when something is based on historical
47:21
events, in this instance, the recording of
47:23
the Rumors album, the TV or the
47:25
film version is like way more exaggerated
47:27
and way more crazy. But in this
47:30
instance, it's like not the case, like
47:32
the actual story is 10 times crazier
47:34
than Daisy Jones in the sixth. But
47:36
one thing I do really like about
47:38
it is the fact that the
47:40
song that is supposed to be
47:43
their breakthrough single is actually a
47:45
good song. And it would have
47:47
been a hit had it
47:49
been released in the 70s. Yeah, I
47:52
feel like this strain of music having
47:54
to create media within movies is the
47:56
easiest to recreate authentically like I think
47:58
of almost famous and Stillwater's
48:01
hit song Fever Dog. Okay, but Fever
48:03
Dog did not slap as hard as
48:05
Look at Us Now from Daisy Jones
48:07
and the Six. Although, yes, I get
48:10
what you're saying, and I actually would
48:12
recommend Daisy Jones and the Six to
48:14
fans of Almost Famous. Like, that's exactly
48:16
who should watch this. I
48:18
know, but I remember when Daisy Jones and
48:20
the Six came out, people were juxtaposing stills
48:22
from Daisy Jones and the Six and Almost
48:24
Famous, where it's like, why does one legit
48:26
look like it's from the 70s and the
48:28
other is a wish.com version
48:31
of them? Yeah, I think the
48:33
biggest disjunct between the book and
48:35
the series for me was that I
48:38
imagine Daisy as being like
48:40
extremely cool from the beginning,
48:42
and in this series, she's kind of
48:44
only cool at the very end, you
48:46
know? And that's a problem. Yeah,
48:49
because girls are, they're born that way. They're
48:51
born, they're not made. Is it like that
48:53
in the book? Yes, in the book, she
48:56
is a total it girl, and I think the author
48:58
does a good job of capturing that
49:00
for sure. But yeah,
49:02
my main takeaway is that one
49:04
fake song. Do any fake songs
49:06
speak to you? I would be
49:08
remiss if I did not mention
49:11
the song from the Lone Ranger,
49:13
degenerated from the film Airheads. Okay,
49:16
I have a confession to make. I've never seen Airheads. Oh,
49:18
you would like it. Would I? And
49:20
Tat would like it. It's an early Adam Sandler
49:22
role. You know what the plot of the
49:24
film is. Okay, Brendan
49:27
Fraser, Steve Buscemi, and Adam
49:29
Sandler are wannabe rock stars
49:31
in the early 90s. They
49:33
have like a pseudo grunge rock band
49:36
called the Lone Rangers, and
49:38
Steve Buscemi works for a
49:40
toy store, and he very early on
49:42
in the film shows them these hyper-realistic
49:45
guns that can't be sold at the
49:47
toy store. So anyway, they
49:49
have this idea to hold up a radio
49:51
station until their single is played. That sounds
49:53
cool. I think
49:55
my favorite fake song is That Thing
49:57
You Do from That Thing You Do.
50:00
you do. Remember how good that song
50:02
was? Like, I think that having a
50:04
good song is required for a film
50:06
or a television show where it's all about
50:09
a band getting famous because of a song.
50:11
But that song I think it's as good as
50:13
any 60s one hit wonder.
50:15
The O'Needers. So you
50:17
have one hit wonders, the wonders. Remember how
50:19
they actually played that song on the radio?
50:22
As you're saying this, I'm like in my
50:24
head, it's playing that thing you do because
50:26
of course I owned the CD and played
50:29
it at nauseam as a child. Okay,
50:31
let's drop a clip of that here. It's
50:48
just in my head, like it won't
50:50
leave. No, and they play it 10,000
50:53
times during that thing you do. And
50:55
by the end, you're still not sick
50:57
of it. I think we also have
50:59
to mention, of course, the star is
51:01
born, but that's been mentioned enough. The
51:04
single shallow, of course, was amazing. But
51:06
many of the songs were amazing, not
51:08
all but enough to populate a soundtrack.
51:10
And also, I think maybe that is
51:12
the best fake pop music in a
51:15
movie because you have Lady Gaga. And
51:17
it's pop music like what's her name?
51:19
Alice or Ally? Ally. Oh my god.
51:22
Put some respect on Ally Maine's name. Do
51:24
you think she changed her name back after
51:27
his suicide? Or that just she will always
51:29
be Ally Maine? Did you just ruin star
51:31
is born? I'm sorry, if you don't know
51:34
how star is born ends by now, after
51:37
four films, then
51:39
that's on you. And five years
51:42
after the film came out. But the
51:44
fact that Ally Maine's pop music is
51:46
separate to Lady Gaga's own pop music
51:49
is astonishing. So I think that might
51:51
be the best music in a film.
51:53
But also we should be thinking of
51:55
the band from beyond the Valley of
51:57
the Dolls because they had some bops.
52:00
Do we have a little time for me just to give
52:02
you a rundown of what's going on the Real Housewives of
52:04
Beverly Hills? I don't know. When do I need to take
52:07
you to Cedar Sinai? Yeah guys, we've
52:09
transferred to my bed. I won't
52:11
get into what's going on with Kyle
52:13
and Sutton. There was a whole thing
52:16
in Las Vegas where they went to Magic Mike
52:18
and Sutton wore pants, which I
52:20
guess was a big deal to her and
52:22
after she wasn't called on stage, she had
52:24
a whole meltdown where she yelled at everyone
52:27
that she's on the board of the American
52:29
Ballet Theatre and she can't be seen at
52:32
such a thing and everyone was like, is
52:35
it because you didn't get called on stage? And she's
52:37
like, no, that's not what it's about. And
52:39
they're like, you're kind of making a big deal about this.
52:42
She's like, I'm not. Having seen
52:44
Magic Mike live, I'm surprised she would
52:46
have wanted to be called on stage
52:48
because they're all like swishy bottoms and
52:51
skinny jeans. Like it's not like giving
52:53
Channing Tatum. She would have known
52:55
what was going on, what that show was like to
52:57
begin with, but that's neither here nor there. What
53:00
I do want to get into is that
53:02
Morgan Wade has finally been introduced into the
53:04
show. There has
53:06
been a lot of rumors that Kyle
53:09
Richards is now seeing this country
53:11
singer Morgan Wade. And I actually,
53:15
having now seen them together on camera, interacting
53:17
for the first time, I don't think they're
53:19
together like that. I
53:23
think it's something far worse, which
53:25
is Kyle is obsessed with Morgan
53:27
and Morgan doesn't feel the same way because
53:30
having watched them interact, the energy is
53:32
not there. Kyle's acting
53:34
like a giggly teenager and Morgan's
53:36
like, okay, cool. Now
53:39
I'm left with the crushing reality that we aren't
53:41
going to get a gay affair, but
53:44
instead it's just a woman having a
53:46
gnarly midlife crisis for all of us
53:48
to watch. Kyle's not above drinking Morgan's
53:50
bathwater is what you're saying. I think
53:52
it's possible. I think it may have
53:54
happened. Well, I'm
53:57
excited to see what happens, even
53:59
though I don't want to. Well, I'm excited
54:01
to hear what happened. Yeah. via you since
54:04
I don't watch this show. But I am
54:06
still invested in this because of course I
54:08
would like a Beverly Hills housewife to be
54:10
with a woman, you know, in a non
54:12
Denise Richards. Wait, what was the other situation?
54:14
Denise Richards in Brandi Glandville, which we're in
54:17
the middle of I haven't watched this
54:19
week's episode, but another dinner party
54:21
from hell, which is a weed
54:23
theme dinner party that Denise Richards
54:25
is there. And it would appear
54:28
has mixed some alcohol with some
54:30
prescription drugs because she isn't making any
54:32
sense. See, I think we dinner parties
54:34
are the worst idea unless you're the
54:36
hugest donor in the world. I can't
54:38
imagine how that would work. It doesn't
54:40
seem like a good idea. If I'm
54:42
smoking pot, the last thing I want
54:44
to do is socialize in that kind
54:47
of context. And especially having bitch fights
54:49
doesn't work. Moving on to fashion. In
54:51
case you've been living under a rock.
54:54
Balenciaga had a show in Los
54:56
Angeles. It was their new pre fall
54:58
collection. And the
55:01
show was on a very picturesque
55:03
street in Hancock Park. I couldn't
55:05
believe it. I would love to
55:07
talk to the event producer. I
55:09
don't even know how you rent
55:12
out a street in Hancock Park. I mean,
55:14
clearly they picked this very specific street because
55:16
you had a perfect view to the Hollywood
55:18
sign in the background. This is a very
55:21
affluent neighborhood. So it's like how do you
55:23
kick that many rich people out of their
55:25
homes? I mean, the money that they got
55:28
must have been crazy. Well, and also it's
55:30
a Saturday afternoon. It's like, hi,
55:32
can you not leave
55:34
your house for eight hours while we
55:36
mount this fashion show? And can Nicole
55:38
Kidman use your bathroom? So
55:42
Kat went, I wanted to have her
55:44
on the pod today to talk about
55:46
it, but she couldn't because she's working.
55:48
But she said that like, no one
55:50
was peering through the windows either. They
55:52
either were gone or hiding. I wonder
55:54
if they paid for them to be
55:56
in a hotel for the weekend or
55:58
something. I would imagine. that seems cheaper
56:00
than renting their homes. So
56:03
we're a year out from the Balenciaga scandal.
56:05
Isn't that crazy that it's only been a
56:08
year? Well, no, because a year ago, I
56:10
was so sick, I lost my voice. Maybe
56:12
it's just an annual thing for me. And
56:15
we were discussing this around this time last year.
56:17
But the fact that last year at this time,
56:19
you were like, I don't know if we should
56:21
talk about this because I don't want to get
56:23
fucking docked. And
56:26
now it's like it never happened. Gemna is
56:28
back in the cultural zeitgeist doing what he
56:30
does best, reflecting the worst parts of our
56:32
culture back to us. I know,
56:35
I love that so many people were
56:37
appalled by this show because it's like
56:39
tacky as if the vast majority of
56:41
luxury consumers aren't. I would love to
56:43
know the conversations of how they got
56:46
the collab and licensing for Erewhon because
56:48
that was a genius move. It's the
56:50
kind of thing that I can't imagine
56:52
any other brand doing in the same
56:55
way. I mean, people love to have
56:57
hot and bad takes about Balenciaga and
56:59
they were like, who would pay
57:01
like $700 for a leather Aeron tote? And
57:05
it's like, people, people will. It's
57:08
going to sell out. Yeah, also I think $700
57:10
is a very generous estimate. I'm
57:13
thinking that's more like $3,000. Did
57:15
you know that the to-go coffee cups that
57:18
people were holding, that those are bags? Yeah,
57:20
I saw a video of it. There's a
57:22
hinge on one side and when you
57:24
flip up the top of the cuff, there's like a
57:26
little mirror. Is that our new pigeon bag? Do we
57:28
have to add to the collection? But
57:31
yeah, I thought it was a cool show. They're
57:34
coming off what I think are two
57:36
of their strongest shows, the spring show
57:39
and the couture show before that. So
57:41
I don't think this was as major
57:43
as that necessarily but certainly fun to
57:45
watch. And most of the pieces were
57:47
just like what would be in the
57:50
store? Like it wasn't a ton of
57:52
fantasy apart from the gowns and
57:54
the coats at the end. They make their
57:56
money selling bags and shoes and that's what
57:58
this collection was about. T-shirts, hoodies. Yeah,
58:01
you can find the giant Ugg
58:03
boots offensive, but they're gonna sell
58:05
well. I feel like the backlash
58:07
to Balenciaga is always really funny
58:10
because whenever they rework something that
58:12
signifies like the lower classes, whether
58:14
it's a clutch that looks like
58:16
a bag of chips or these
58:19
weird fake Ugg boots, people get
58:21
so outraged. But
58:23
then it's like that only fuels
58:25
the hype behind this brand, right?
58:27
Like the criticism is that the
58:29
brand is all about hype, but
58:32
they create the hype because the haters
58:34
are as obsessed as the fans. The
58:36
true death for someone like Demna would
58:38
be if people had no reaction. We're
58:40
incapable of not having reactions in today's
58:43
cultures. As long as I think he
58:45
wants to be a Balenciaga, he'll be
58:47
there. These clothes sell, so he will
58:49
stay there as long as he wants
58:51
to. For sure, but I do have
58:53
a question about one section of the
58:56
show. Because artistically, I understand having the
58:58
Chanel tweed suits. I'll put that in
59:00
quotes. But would
59:02
you buy a Balenciaga skirt suit mimicking
59:04
a Chanel suit? Yes, because these suits,
59:07
if you look closely, they look like
59:09
they're too tight on the models. It
59:11
looks like the buttons are pulling, and
59:13
that's a design thing. So that makes
59:16
it different than an actual Chanel suit.
59:18
I don't think these are for people
59:20
that would buy a Chanel suit. As
59:23
he spoke about in the show notes,
59:25
growing up as a refugee, a
59:28
lot of his media was showing Los
59:30
Angeles. And that's definitely when I
59:32
think about LA and like Kris Jenner
59:34
and Beverly Hills in the late 80s
59:36
and 90s. I'm thinking about Chanel suits.
59:38
Yeah, pretty woman, Beverly Hills. It's
59:41
that cream and baby pink Chanel suit that
59:43
we all think about. But I thought the
59:45
first section of the show, like
59:47
the first third, which was all ass
59:50
leisure, into the bootleg Juicy Couture stuff,
59:53
I was like, oh, that is how
59:55
people actually look here. That's like how
59:57
people look when they're leaving Equinox in
59:59
West Hollywood. Yeah, what's going to
1:00:01
be interesting about this collection is it
1:00:03
is an amped up version of how
1:00:05
people dress in Los Angeles for the
1:00:07
most part, but also producing really hypey
1:00:09
gigantic sneakers, gigantic of the people are
1:00:11
then going to buy now leave equinox
1:00:13
in that amped up version of what
1:00:16
they were previously where it's like where
1:00:18
does this end? I know.
1:00:20
In the shoes, you can buy
1:00:22
the shoes now apparently, which are
1:00:24
comically huge. Like if you thought
1:00:26
their shoes were big before, if you thought those
1:00:28
Yeezy shoes were big, these are like really
1:00:30
fucking big clown shoes. They are clown
1:00:32
shoes. Can we also talk
1:00:34
about some of the models because we did get
1:00:36
a couple of celebs in this show that we
1:00:39
did. I saw Cardi B, which is kind of
1:00:41
a weird choice as I do not associate her
1:00:43
with Los Angeles at all. Like when I think
1:00:45
of Cardi B, like that's the most New York
1:00:47
person. I've ever seen
1:00:49
like she's from the Bronx. I guess
1:00:52
you couldn't make it to the Wall Street show last year. And
1:00:54
more importantly, we got Brigitte Nielsen. Incredible.
1:00:58
I think her and Cardi should have
1:01:00
swapped outfits. Yeah, yeah. Like
1:01:03
it's a cool subversion to put
1:01:05
Brigitte Nielsen in these like thigh
1:01:07
high dominatrix boots and black jeans
1:01:09
and a turtleneck. But when I
1:01:11
think about her as a fashion
1:01:13
icon and how she looked in
1:01:16
the 80s during the
1:01:18
peak of her fame when she was married to
1:01:20
Sylvester Stallone, it's like I do think about like
1:01:23
that 80s extravagance and those red
1:01:25
carpet looks and those furs and
1:01:27
stuff. She's beyond. Also, I was
1:01:29
completely starstruck seeing her at the after
1:01:31
party and she was very easy to
1:01:33
spot as she is 20 feet
1:01:36
tall and blonde as fuck. Oh, I'm sorry.
1:01:38
You went to the after party, Chelsea. Well,
1:01:40
yeah, it was Tats plus one. Did you
1:01:42
get an Erewhon ex Balenciaga juice, Chelsea? I
1:01:45
didn't. They
1:01:47
had some sort of cocktail reception thing
1:01:49
at Sunset Tower that I didn't go
1:01:51
to. That was all about the
1:01:54
juice because me and Yo went and
1:01:56
saw Stevie Nicks. So the party that
1:01:58
I went to was at Whiskey A
1:02:00
Go-Go and it was very like. like,
1:02:02
unfancy on every level. Fascinating. With a
1:02:04
smattering of random celebs, most importantly, Brigitte
1:02:06
Nielsen. I was at Erewhon earlier this
1:02:08
week and I looked out for it
1:02:10
and it was not there. Well, I
1:02:12
had Tat snag you one from the
1:02:14
Reese's, so shall we sample it now?
1:02:16
Please. Oh yeah, this'll revive
1:02:18
me. Yeah, the funny thing is that Lauren
1:02:20
actually needs this juice right now. Look
1:02:23
at us, all the things you need. It's
1:02:25
like charcoal, apple, ginger, spinach. The most important
1:02:27
thing is it has activated charcoal, which gives
1:02:30
it its black look. But nothing really edgy
1:02:32
about the taste of the juice itself. No,
1:02:34
so much so that I would drink this
1:02:36
on the regular if they sold it. Wait,
1:02:39
so they didn't have it when you went
1:02:41
to Erewhon? Not the Studio City one. Yeah,
1:02:43
I wonder how long they planned on manufacturing
1:02:46
that for, if it was just like
1:02:48
a last weekend kind of thing. Well, I
1:02:50
hope it becomes like the Healy Bieber smoothie
1:02:52
and it gets so popular, we're like, fuck
1:02:54
it, I guess this is just in our
1:02:57
repertoire now. Oh, is that what happened? Haven't
1:02:59
you ever been to Erewhon and just seen
1:03:01
like depressed underpaid smoothie makers just making like
1:03:03
six Healy Bieber pink smoothies at a time?
1:03:06
You know, I never get smoothies at Erewhon,
1:03:08
I get juices. And I've
1:03:10
never really cared about any of the
1:03:12
celebrities that have done the smoothies enough
1:03:14
to get one. I was never a
1:03:16
juice person, but this may have converted me.
1:03:18
Is that a business expense if we get an
1:03:21
Erewhon membership? Watch us go to jail.
1:03:23
This is a
1:03:25
case for the FBI. You're
1:03:30
too rich and I hate you.
1:03:33
I was horrified to see on Deadline
1:03:36
this week that Kim Kardashian will
1:03:38
be re-teaming with Ryan Murphy as
1:03:40
she will star in a Hulu
1:03:42
legal drama from the
1:03:45
executive producer. Kim, take a
1:03:47
break, please rest. I
1:03:50
don't know how she does it. The other
1:03:52
problem with this announcement is
1:03:54
okay, you were standout in this season of
1:03:56
American Horror Story. You got the best lines,
1:03:58
it was a bit roll. But I
1:04:00
don't know if I were her, it's
1:04:02
like I pulled it off once, good.
1:04:04
But now she's doubling down on acting
1:04:07
and I'm a little worried. Kim acting
1:04:09
is not a problem for me. I'm
1:04:11
excited by it. I just don't understand
1:04:13
how she's planning on doing this, running
1:04:16
skims, running skin, that venture
1:04:18
capital firm that she has.
1:04:20
Sky. And what else? Oh,
1:04:22
her four children. Oh, and
1:04:25
the becoming a lawyer thing.
1:04:28
I wonder if she's negotiated that they
1:04:30
have to film in Calabasas. They're going
1:04:32
to build a production stage in the
1:04:35
skims office so that she can film
1:04:37
her part. For her sake, I hope
1:04:39
that happens. I'm excited by it because
1:04:42
American Horror Story is not the best
1:04:44
that Ryan Murphy has to offer at
1:04:46
this point. His best things are
1:04:48
other shows. So maybe this
1:04:50
will be one of those things. As of
1:04:53
late, his best things are shows that he
1:04:55
executive produces that he has nothing to do
1:04:57
with. Which I guess the Capote ladies is
1:04:59
one of those things. But also it's not
1:05:02
like she's just doing this Ryan Murphy show.
1:05:04
Wait, do we mention it's about lawyers? That's
1:05:06
so insane because it's like you're actually going
1:05:08
to be one. I think that's how they
1:05:11
pitched it to her. But it's not that
1:05:13
she's just doing this Ryan Murphy show. She
1:05:15
is also signed on as the lead in
1:05:17
this new Netflix movie called The Fifth Wheel
1:05:20
that is apparently some sort
1:05:22
of ensemble comedy written by
1:05:24
Paula Pell, former SNL writer,
1:05:26
star of Wine Country. It's
1:05:29
a very specific context that
1:05:31
I think she's been successful
1:05:33
in her role. I'm a
1:05:35
little worried for her to
1:05:38
try to go outside of those
1:05:40
parameters. See, I'm just selfishly
1:05:43
worried that this means that we
1:05:45
will never get a brick and
1:05:47
mortar skim store at the Century
1:05:49
City Westfield. The Kardashians would rather
1:05:51
open a permanent or pop up
1:05:53
store for any other venture other
1:05:55
than skims. Which skims ironically out
1:05:57
of all the other businesses. needs
1:06:00
a pop-up or a physical store
1:06:02
because what size are you?
1:06:04
I don't know. It could range two
1:06:06
sizes from your usual or two sizes
1:06:08
up. Two sizes down, two sizes up.
1:06:10
Yeah, to shop at Skims is to
1:06:13
place like a $500 order and then
1:06:15
to return two-thirds of it. Yeah, you're
1:06:17
basically playing sizing Russian roulette when you
1:06:19
buy Skims. You're basically just like putting
1:06:21
shit on your credit card when you
1:06:23
buy Skims. And we wonder why we're
1:06:25
not on the PR list. No,
1:06:29
I love it, but that's just like bras.
1:06:31
That is the number one thing that is
1:06:33
hard to buy for most people. Yeah, like
1:06:35
my nipple bra. I picked the wrong size.
1:06:37
I picked a 32B,
1:06:39
which I normally am. But thankfully,
1:06:42
Skims sent me someone else's wrong order under
1:06:44
my name and it was the right bra.
1:06:46
34B, so sorry, person. That
1:06:51
bra's mine now. I feel like
1:06:53
we should also mention Kendall's new
1:06:56
fashion campaign. She is the face
1:06:58
of the new Bottega Veneta campaign
1:07:00
alongside A$AP Rocky. Well, not alongside.
1:07:03
They did his and hers. But
1:07:05
it is a paparazzi-themed photo
1:07:08
shoot, which it feels
1:07:10
like more Mizelles Italian
1:07:12
Vogue paparazzi shoots than anything
1:07:14
else. Than like actual paparazzi
1:07:16
photos as of late. No,
1:07:18
but it was actual paparazzi
1:07:20
photos. That's the genius thing
1:07:23
because I think that when
1:07:25
big luxury brands try to
1:07:27
do these campaigns, they always
1:07:29
want it to look like
1:07:31
Ron Guella or a stylized
1:07:33
like a Hans Fuhrer kind of
1:07:36
version of a paparazzi photo. Why
1:07:38
not just get it straight from
1:07:40
Getty Images? Yeah, you're right. I'm
1:07:43
looking up the photos and I
1:07:45
can't find a photographer because the
1:07:47
photos of Kendall were paparazzi photos
1:07:50
previously. I mean, she purposely was
1:07:52
styled in these Bottega pieces, but
1:07:55
almost every shot we've seen in the Daily
1:07:57
Mail before, like I think about her
1:07:59
in the... the fur coat. We
1:08:02
talked about this on a recent episode
1:08:04
right on the walkway at the second
1:08:06
level of Sushi Park, which is a
1:08:08
known paparazzi spot. Yeah, apart from that,
1:08:10
I don't remember seeing any of these
1:08:12
Kendall photos, but I did see a
1:08:15
bunch of the ASAP Rocky ones, including
1:08:17
the one of him jogging in a
1:08:19
leather sweatsuit. And it didn't even occur
1:08:21
to me that it was for a
1:08:23
Bottega Veneta ad. I just thought he
1:08:25
had gone crazy. Oh, yeah, babes, here
1:08:27
is Kendall outside jade. Oh my god,
1:08:29
she even bother talking about the last
1:08:31
few episodes of the Kardashians. Oh, are
1:08:34
we behind talking about them? We certainly
1:08:36
didn't talk about the season finale that
1:08:38
I know. Okay, remind me what that
1:08:41
was again, Chloe and Chris go on
1:08:43
the tour bus to go down the
1:08:45
set. I almost said it in the
1:08:48
increment way. San Diego down the San
1:08:50
Diego to see blink 182 play Courtney
1:08:52
also tries to talk about generational egg
1:08:55
trauma to her mother who like does
1:08:57
not give a fuck. Okay, that was
1:08:59
wild. I mean, the way that Courtney
1:09:02
weaponizes therapy language is wild.
1:09:04
And also like watching Courtney
1:09:07
tried to explain something she's clearly
1:09:09
seen on tik tok once where she's
1:09:11
like true has eggs inside of her
1:09:14
that were inside of her when
1:09:16
she was inside your belly. And
1:09:18
you were inside mom, and
1:09:20
you had all your eggs and she was
1:09:22
inside. It's like, what the fuck are you
1:09:24
talking about Courtney? Look, she's on her own
1:09:27
journey. And I totally
1:09:29
see what you're talking about about
1:09:31
her weaponizing therapy speak. But I
1:09:33
don't get the impression that
1:09:35
a lot of other people in
1:09:38
this family have gone to therapy.
1:09:40
Oh, God, no. And also, I
1:09:42
think that what she's saying specifically
1:09:44
about the kind of men that are
1:09:46
brought into the family and how much
1:09:48
of a pass they get from everyone
1:09:50
is something that needs to be
1:09:52
said and something that needs to be
1:09:55
said specifically to Chris. She seems to
1:09:57
be in a good place with Corey.
1:09:59
I know, but she's currently trying to
1:10:01
get Chloe back together with Tristan. That's
1:10:03
fair. And I think there are definitely
1:10:06
generational patterns around that shit in that
1:10:08
family. Or at least all of the
1:10:10
Kardashian women have done this. And to
1:10:12
be fair, Kourtney out of all of
1:10:15
them has actually broken that pattern. Although
1:10:17
in watching that episode, I realized, did
1:10:19
you notice the very tense interaction between
1:10:21
Travis and Chris? I don't think they
1:10:23
like each other anymore. Also, I love
1:10:26
how Kourtney invited Chris to like
1:10:28
another Blink 182 show. She's like,
1:10:30
no, I'm good. Never need to do that again.
1:10:33
She also forgot to tell her mom that she
1:10:35
would be publicly announcing her pregnancy at a Blink
1:10:37
182 show. Well, and she also
1:10:39
didn't invite her family because she didn't want
1:10:41
to make it about them. Fair enough.
1:10:43
The other thing I thought was memorable
1:10:46
for myself is that we see Kim
1:10:48
shooting American Horror Story and the director
1:10:50
is Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David Lynch
1:10:53
and director of Boxing Helena. Also, did
1:10:55
you notice that on the what are
1:10:57
they called the little clapper boards? It
1:11:00
said American Horror Story Hamptons. So
1:11:02
is that supposed to be the name?
1:11:05
Like why was it changed to delicate?
1:11:07
I don't know why would be American
1:11:09
Horror Story Hamptons, but oftentimes productions will
1:11:11
be under code name. So people don't
1:11:14
know what the name is. And I still think
1:11:16
for American Horror Story, they think that their subtitles
1:11:18
are huge reveals. So maybe
1:11:20
they wanted to call it Hamptons as a
1:11:22
cover story. Right. Well, some of it does
1:11:24
take place in the Hamptons. Very true. I
1:11:26
guess it's time for me to call an
1:11:28
ambulance for you. If I got too sick,
1:11:30
this is gonna be the worst episode next
1:11:32
week. I'm never gonna hear the end of
1:11:35
this. Okay, since it's the end of the
1:11:37
show, and we never know how to end
1:11:39
the show, maybe we should invest in that
1:11:41
George Santos cameo. Maybe he could give us
1:11:43
a sign off. I think I missed the
1:11:45
window yet again. I think they're all sold out.
1:11:47
But I'm gonna keep my eye
1:11:49
open. I'm sure the next time it's gonna
1:11:51
be like, oh, no, wait, it's available. Chelsea,
1:11:53
we can book a personal video from him
1:11:55
for $400. All right, we're gonna do this. All
1:11:57
right, guys, we're gonna book a personal video.
1:12:00
cameo from George Santos and
1:12:02
tune in next week to hear what he
1:12:04
said to us. Sounds great. Bye guys. Bye.
